The Blackout Series
The Blackout Coin Series is a modern expression of the challenge coin tradition carried by those serving across the Department of Homeland Security and its operational components.
Each coin is finished with a matte black powder-coated surface paired with black enamel accents, creating a layered, monochromatic design that reveals its detail through texture, depth, and precision engraving rather than bright color. The result is a bold yet understated look that stands apart from traditional coin finishes.
The blackout aesthetic reflects the character of the mission itself — disciplined, focused, and often carried out without fanfare. It represents the quiet professionalism of those who stand watch, enforce the law, secure our borders, and protect the homeland.
Crafted to be distinctive and durable, these coins honor a long-standing tradition of recognition and camaraderie while presenting it through a modern lens.
Understated in color.
Unmistakable in purpose.

This is the coolest TSA Challenge coin I’ve ever had.
